Chigasaki City Museum

The Chigasaki City Museum opened in July 2022 in Tsutsumi, Chigasaki, replacing the 50-year-old Chigasaki City Museum of Culture (located on the city’s central coast). The museum’s unique mission is to “accumulate and utilize materials and other information on the nature of Chigasaki and the lives of the people who lived there, and to pass them on to the people of the future through activities conducted in cooperation with citizens and other users. Surrounding the museum are the former Wada Family Residence and the former Mitsuhashi Family Residence, both designated as important cultural properties by the city, Jomidera Temple, the family temple of Ooka Koshizenmori, and the Komayose River, where wild birds, fish, and other creatures can be seen, making it a pleasant place to stroll. The area also serves as a base facility connecting natural, historical, and cultural resources such as the river, valley doors, and ruins such as the Shimoterao government office complex and Tsutsumi shell mounds.
